Looking good. Im used to cruder prototypes than you're copying. Do a google search there are heaps of images ranging from antiquity to modern....
I like this one I photographed at Wool Bay in South Australia.Attachment: Lime Kiln.jpg (Downloaded 157 times)

Another idea, a smoke creator to make clouds of polluting smoke will give you realism... I have made some 12V fan assisted ones if you need the details... Last edited on Wed Feb 25th, 2015 06:26 am by Tramcar Trev

Howdy Bill.. I just wish that the smelter I need was as compact as yours! Your smelter occupies about half an acre, mine needs about 100 acres!!! Oh well, mine will be drawn on the wall and I will use lots of imagination. I like yours though. Are you planning a McKeen ore loco LOL

Hi Woodie,
Thanks for your comment.
I looked at the Smelter drawing Keith post but couldn't really tell much about. I was going to ask him for more information but decide to do some searching on my own. I will be waiting to see how yours turns out.
The one I am building is smaller and I guess somewhat more compressed then most of the ones I have pictures of. In its current version it has a footprint of about 20" by 11".
As for the McKeen Motor Car, long ago John Wayne was in a movie called "The War Wagon". I thought about that movie and decide one or more of my McKeen Motor Cars might work as armored ore carriers. I might even make a McKeen Motor Car, shot-up, and in a ditch somewhere on the layout as a result of a robbery attempt.
I found this old Trailer posted on youtube for the movie:

I looked for the movie on Netflix but didn't find it. Then looked on ITunes and they list it in SD for $2.99. I am loading now so I can watch it again.
